Sir R. Glyn
asked the Minister of Health whether in the case of rural houses that are reported by the local authority, under Section 11 of the Housing Act, 1936, as being unfit for human habitation and the owner is willing and anxious to reconstruct and repair the property, he will agree to a licence being granted on the certificate of the local authority for the necessary labour and material by the Ministry of Works to be forthcoming up to a reasonable limit for each rural district.
Mr. J. Edwards
